These outdoor painting days are obviously subject to the weather being fine so we would be unlikely to manage all of them although we could rearrange them if there was sufficient interest. All the suggested meeting places have a café and toilets except there is no café at the Botanic Gardens. We can fix the dates later. If there is sufficient interest we could arrange other workshops
 
Vivien has kindly agreed to host the Zooms.
 
We are still looking for a venue for the Annual Exhibition.
 
The subs for 2022 will be £10. These are now due.

          A GOOD DAY OUT AT ROOTS FARM

On Monday 13th September 2021 seven of us had a very enjoyable day at Roots Thorpe Farm in Barkby Thorpe.

As well as farm buildings, fields and views there were alpacas, ducks, chickens, four wallabies and a goat to draw. We were also lucky enough to have the opportunity to sketch the farrier shoeing horses in the yard. Some of us also used the excellent cafe.

It was lovely to meet up with other members, the weather was kind to us and the staff were very helpful.

Altogether a very successful day out.
